best mods so far
got some good mods that i want to share with you guys. If you guys who are using it....shiok right....those not, maybe you can try it. IT WORKS unlike some other mods.
Meguiar's High Gloss tyre shine - I've tried so many different kinds of tyre shine...some worked...some don't. Those that worked can't last 1 day..and those that don't....don't. However, this Meguiar works like a beauty. Quite thick to begin with, first application was already very good. I waited for it to dry up and then added a second gloss. wowee....once the gloss settled down...it was like using oil to coat the tyres man. Good stuff cannot bluff. Makes the car goes harder and faster (ok..i'm lying)..but it does make the car looks more wicked. Even at night, i can still see the glass effect.
How much is it you may ask? Giant supermarket is selling it for 16.90. Well worth the money i say and the extra ponies it adds to the car.
BUT WAIT....there's more!!!
How do you keep the all important cash card safe from prying eyes who snoop around our 8's? Introducing the RX8 I.U cover. It protects the card from being seen by others and the RX8 word on the cover itself acts as an reminder that you are driving the hottest car in the market.
WHERE CAN YOU GET IT? Mcwell Ventures is the place you should venture to if you are interested in this marvelous product. And it only cost you 9.90
Therefore...for less than $30, you have for yourself two of the best modifications you can apply to the 8 without voiding the warranty. It looks great, feels good(esp the tyre shine...car handles way better now) and of cause its affordable.
ok...enough of my crap.
These 2 products are just something i find that are pretty good to have. So i thought i'll let everyone know.

Never never use any tyre shine thingy. Why?
Those tyre shines do look nice. However, they will make your tyres lose grip at corners. Why?
When you are driving, be it day or night, your tyres tend to heat up and those tyre shines will actually seep down to your tyre surface. There's when you lose grip bro.

I only used sponge...poured some of the shine onto the sponge and apply over the tyre. Should be the same method like most i guess.

Certainly a choice - hence a mod there!
Nice mod :D
I am sure the tyre shine reduces wind resistance and 0.01 of the quarter mile time.
